The study is part of Henna Kokkonen's doctoral thesis. Credit: Tommi Sassi For the first time in almost 30 years, the heaviest nucleus decaying via proton emission has been measured. The previous ...

For the first time in more than thirty years, the heaviest nucleus decaying via proton emission has been measured. The previous similar breakthrough was achieved in 1996. The radioactive decay of ...

Scientists at the Accelerator Laboratory of the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, have successfully measured the heaviest nucleus to date that undergoes proton emission. The discovery unveils a new ...

India, June 6 -- IIT Roorkee's nuclear physics group plays a key role in the rare nuclear decay discovery published in Nature Communications. Breakthrough also reveals first evidence of Thomas-Ehrman ...

The radioactive decay of atomic nuclei has been one of the keystones of nuclear physics since the beginning of nuclear research. Now the heaviest nucleus decaying via proton emission has been measured ...

For the first time, quarks and gluons were used to describe properties of atomic nuclei, which until now had been explained by the existence of protons and neutrons. The temporary pair of correlated ...

UT researchers have made rare measurements of exotic nuclear decay that reshape how scientists think heavy elements form in extreme cosmic events. You can’t have gold without the decay of an atomic ...

One of the proud achievements of Oak Ridge National Laboratory is the discovery of three elements either by its own staff or in collaboration with other institutions in the United States and Russia.

Carolyn Krause presents the second part of the three-part series on the Oak Ridge National Laboratory's role in the discovery of elements in the periodic table. Many of them have been synthesized ...
